As Mono was pulled out of the Signal Tower's Distorted Corridor space, the television also seemed finally unable to bear the burden.
After a few sizzling sounds of current, the screen went black. Mono breathed a sigh of relief.
Mono probably wouldn't be able to discover Six for the time being.
However, thinking about how he seemed to have been pulled back from that eerie Signal Tower
corridor by Six, Mono couldn't help but look at the yellow figure beside him again.
Upon looking, he realized that ever since Six had pulled him back, she had remained in a slumped
sitting position.
Mono used his hands and feet to crawl closer, and only then did he see the expression under the brim of her hat.
He saw that Six's eyes were staring straight ahead,
her pitch-black eyes at this
moment appeared somewhat dazed.
Moreover, her breathing was a bit heavy.
Mono followed her gaze and saw that it was the television whose screen had already gone
dark.
Was Six... afraid?
Mono fell silent...
However, thinking of Six's actions just now...
Mono slowly took Six's hand and then said softly:
"Little Six, don't be afraid..."
"I will stay with you, and I will help you deal with those who bully you." Mono was moved once again by what Six had just done. Six clearly feared Mono so much...
Yet, just now, she had actually approached the television alone.
She had even gone to the corridor only a door away from Mono to pull him out.
Even someone like him had endured immense terror while in the corridor...
And Six herself might have experienced it before, yet she stepped into it again. How much courage must that have required?
Six really is... too kind.
How could he have the heart to tease her in the future?
At this moment, Mono felt happy yet depressed, fearful after the fact yet fortunate; his heart was a cocktail of emotions.
But overall, it was mostly relief.
After all, how many people in this world would dare to face what they fear?
Hearing Mono's words, Six finally slowly came to her senses. Their eyes met...
Seeing Six's still-confused black eyes, Mono's face again revealed his pearly white
teeth in a grin:
"No one will be able to hurt you as they please, trust me... don't be afraid anymore..." As he finished speaking,
"Mono..."
Six was dazed for a moment.
Then,
the fear in her eyes slowly dissipated.
It seemed as if the warmth from his hand could dispel the gloom in her heart.
The smile that blossomed on his face seemed even more like a dawn of light.
Suddenly, a small head was buried in Mono's chest.
Six's small hands suddenly wrapped around him.
The grip was a bit tight, but Mono wasn't angry this time.
Immediately after, Six's unique, soft, and flat voice came from his arms: "Mono... is right, I won't be afraid anymore."
Mono felt relieved.
Six was always quick to understand.
After letting Six hug him for a while, Mono patted her shoulder and said softly:
"We should go..."
Six nodded gently, slowly let go, and crawled up. Mono was also pulled up by her.
Looking at her briefly, Six seemed to have returned to her happy state from before.
Mono felt at ease.
Mono didn't intend to delay.
The enhancement of his Ability brought by the increase in progress points in the corridor gave him plenty of motivation.
Now he just wanted to find a monster to make up the last two points.
What changes would it bring if [Wave of Intent] were fully activated? Mono wasn't sure.
But at least his strength would soar many times over.
And as long as he had strength, he would have the confidence to say no and be able to... resist.
For himself...
And for Six...
The two walked forward again, successfully passing through the Television Room.
Outside the Television Room was a Hall.
Many rooms were built around the hall, divided into upper and lower floors.
An I-shaped wooden staircase connected the ground floor to the second-floor corridor. Many rooms were built around the hall.
